Historical Diving Society
- Historical Diving Society
The Historical Diving Society was formed in the United Kingdom in 1990 to preserve the history of diving and its equipment. It has since gained members and branches in many countries throughout Europe and North America. A large part of the group's mission involves the cataloguing and exhibition of working historical diving equipment through its Working Equipment Group. It publishes the Historical Diving Times (on paper), 4 times a year.
